Hi guys,
I just became 'mum' to 2 beautiful 2mnth old spotted pythons....yet to be named but they are going by 'Mr and Mrs Mac' at the moment. We brought them home yesterday and have set them up in a container each (see below).
Mrs Mac is soooo placid! Seems to like being handled and from the first time I picked her up she seemed very 'snuggly'. Mr Mac on the other hand is PSYCHO SNAKE!!!! Whenever I go remotely near his enclosure he rears up and handling him is a series of bites. He keeps jumping at the sides of the enclosure and I'm worried he'll hurt himself. You simply cant hold him with out him latching on repeatedly.
I'm only planning on having them out for 5 minutes intervals for the first wek or two so they don't get freaked out (they are being kept separate).
Soooo.....what can I do to try and calm Mr Mac down?? Do you think he will calm down if he is this psycho now?
Having said that......I absolutely love both of them!!! Thanks for listening,
Ali
This is Mrs Mac (I couldn't get a photo of Mr 'Psycho' Mac'!!
